IBM has launched watsonx AI Labs, a developer-first innovation hub located in New York City. The new lab is designed to accelerate the adoption of AI at scale by connecting IBM's enterprise resources and expertise with AI developers focused on building AI applications for business. Located in Manhattan at IBM's new offices at One Madison, watsonx AI Labs aims to connect IBM’s network of engineering labs, bringing together IBM researchers and engineers in a collaborative hub for co-creating and advancing agentic AI solutions.
The watsonx AI Labs is intended to co-create generative AI solutions with IBM clients, nurture AI talent within New York City, and advance enterprise AI implementations. IBM plans to work with startups, scale-ups, and enterprises to discover AI value through this initiative. New York City has a growing AI ecosystem, with more than 2,000 AI startups and an AI workforce that grew by almost 25% from 2022 to 2023. Since 2019, over 1,000 AI-related companies in New York City have collectively raised $27 billion in funding.
As part of its investment in AI and commitment to the local startup ecosystem, IBM also announced the acquisition of Seek AI. Seek AI is a New York City-based startup that specializes in building AI agents that leverage enterprise data, providing businesses with a natural language interface to query and analyze corporate data stores. Seek AI's expertise will be integrated into watsonx AI Labs, helping businesses leverage agentic AI to extract value from their data and improve data analysis and summarization capabilities.
